Foreign Ministry: Kazakhstan supports Azerbaijan's sovereignty

The Kazakhstani Foreign Ministry has said that the country supports the sovereignty of Azerbaijan.

Commenting on the recent situation around Garabagh, the Ministry noted that the country once again affirms its strong support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan within its internationally recognised borders, APA reports. 

Also, Kazakhstan supports the solution of all issues through political and diplomatic means in accordance with the UN Charter and the basic principles and norms of international law.

To recall, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has earlier called on the international community to strongly condemn these "elections", noting that "holding the so-called “elections” once again clearly shows that Armenia and the puppet regime created by it, which have taken steps to maintain the status quo and continue its occupation policy, are not really interested in the peace process, on the contrary, have taken the path of provocation and escalating the situation.

The "parliament" in Garabagh, Azerbaijan's Armenian-populated territory, voted on September 9 to nominate a new separatist “president”, a move harshly criticized by Azerbaijani authorities, as well as, the international community.

The election of Samvel Shakhramanyan as the “new president” of the separatist rule followed the resignation of Arayik Harutyunyan as “president” of the region on September 1.
